Donald Judd belonged
to the first generation of American artists for whom writing was an essential
part of their work. His uncompromising art reviews add up to a compelling
account of a major period in American art. His theoretical essays, most
famously Specific Objects (1965), helped redefine the nature of sculpture.
Art historians Richard Shiff, Hal Foster
and Anna Dezeuze, and artist-writer David Batchelor explore the significance of Judd’s
writings for understanding his art and that of his contemporaries, and
assess his contribution as a writer to debates on art and politics over
the last forty years. Chaired by Mignon Nixon (Courtauld
Institute).
